ETA: I just realized who I replied to...of course, you're going to sell it.

Just like I did when I built my massive LSU collection years ago, I’m building my watch collection the same way, with OPM (other people’s money).

I sold my two 14kt gold watches last week for $1500, to put towards my Omega. I paid $600 for the pair.

Nice find! Do you plan on selling or keeping it a while?

Both, it’s on eBay already for $300, if it doesn’t sell, I’ll keep it. I’m buying a Seamaster 300M next week, so if it sells, it’s going toward it.

A pick up off Facebook today for $30. There were 10 watches, all junk except this Mido Multifort automatic.

The lady states that all the watches needed new batteries. Gave it a quick shake, been running since

Worth about $250-$300 from what I can tell

I’ve never realize how good Community Coffee is until now

Posted by theantiquetiger on 6/11/26 at 10:17 pm

I was never a big coffee drinker, I don’t even care for a regular cup of coffee even now. I couldn’t tell the difference between a good cup of coffee and a bad cup, they all tasted bad to me.
With that being said, I have always liked espressos, lattes, cappuccinos, etc. A couple years ago I bought a Ninja Cafe Lux. I drink a hot or iced latte everyday. Since I’ve owned it, I’ve only bought Lavazza coffee beans off Amazon.
I bought a bag of Community this week, and man, the difference is night and day.
I’m hooked, but Community whole beans are about $15 a pound, and Lavazza is about $8.50 a bound.

Any other beans I should try?

bullshite resort fees

These are slowly going away. The new “all inclusive” packages are not charging this. I saw a package for Luxor, it was $500 for two people, included resort fees, three nights, a few meals (maybe one a day or something, plus one nice meal) and a show.

Last time I went to Vegas was NYE 24/25. The fricking resort fee was $40 a room per night (we had two rooms, we were there for 4 nights). WTF was the fee for, the pool wasn’t even open.

I sure as shite ain’t going. I have people telling me two beers and some chicken wings will run you over $50 on the strip.

Yes, if you are not gambling, everything on the strip is high as frick. I’m talking $25+ a person for a shitty fast food meal.

We did have “decent” meal on Fremont St, that was about $80-$100 for 4 people. It was a BBQ place, it was ok, basically a Sonny’s BBQ level food (I like Sonny’s BTW)

Posted by theantiquetiger on 4/25/26 at 4:37 am

They are seeing major drop offs in visitors and revenue, due to the raising cost of visiting Vegas, plus with so many other states now legalizing land based casinos, on line book making, and on line casinos.
Will Vegas be dead in the next 25 years?

They are already offering things like “All-Inclusive Packages”, where you get a room, meals, and a show at a nice discounted rate.

The Strip isn’t what it was even 25 years ago when I went for the first time. Seems like Fremont St and the old feel of Vegas is doing better than the new super resorts.

Also the night before thanksgiving when the lines to get in would go out to almost Florida boulevard.

The greatest night to go out in the 80’s. The line would be 2hrs to get in if you don’t get there early.

This may be nitpicking, but did “Henry Ford” bug the crap out of you?

Posted by theantiquetiger on 4/5/26 at 5:29 pm

Besides the announcer saying Fonte-net at the beginning, them calling Ford “Henry Ford” just bugged the shite out of me all weekend. They would never say just Ford.

I do not know why this drove me crazy.

“You are not Henry Ford, you are Henry Ford the second!”
